Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue purchase orders and enter into an agreement with Central Scale and Supply Company, to maintain the Cardinal Truck Scales at CALSMA, the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant, and LASMA. The purchase order will expire December 31, 2011.
Central Scale and Supply Company, the sole source provider of the parts and services, has submitted prices for the parts and services required. Inasmuch as Central Scale and Supply Company is the only source of supply for the parts and services required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids. (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Central Scale and Supply Company is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois. The parts are manufactured or assembled in the USA.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable because of the specialized nature of the work. If trade work is required, in-house trades will perform the work.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue purchase orders and enter into an agreement with Central Scale and Supply Company, in an amount not to exceed $33,000.00.
Funds are being requested in 2011, in Accounts 101-66000, 69000-612650, 612680, and are contingent on the Board of Commissioners’ approval of the District’s budget for that year.
Requested, Manju Sharma, Director of Maintenance and Operations
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:JN:ms
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for November 4, 2010
